CAMP Strictly star Richard Arnold says he won’t go topless on the show – because he doesn’t want viewers to see his man-boobs.

But the Daybreak showbiz presenter said he hopes his pal Fern Britton, 55, gets saucy on the dance floor.

Richard, 42, said: “I have the most pendulous moobs... there’s no way anyone is going to see my flesh. I don’t suit that sheer look.

"I’m hoping Fern gets the ­boulders out though. That would be something to see.”

Richard says he’s in ­better shape now due to the rigorous ­training. “I put on a pair of trousers I haven’t worn since 1995 which I was pleased about,” he said. “It’s the men who become vainer. Sid Owen had his eyebrows dyed and waxed and some chest shaving’s been going on...”

Richard and Erin Boag did the Charleston last night. He has ­narrowly avoided the boot after ­landing in the bottom two twice, but last night he got his best score yet, 29 out of 40.

Now he hopes to perform at Wembley next weekend. He said: “Can you ­imagine the slow clap of 6,000 as I salsa out? It’s a benchmark for someone who’d never done a dance step... ­except a bit of Morris ­dancing at school.”
